My Project

As we celebrate the Lunar New Year in our classroom, we aim to immerse our students in a fun, hands-on learning experience that highlights the rich culture, traditions, and festivities associated with this important holiday. Our classroom is filled with eager learners who are excited to explore new cultures, and this year, we want to make the Lunar New Year celebration extra special. To do so, we are seeking support for school supplies to help us learn about the holiday and for fun prizes to encourage engagement and excitement.

With your support, we can create a classroom environment filled with excitement and learning as we celebrate this special occasion.

We want our students to not only learn about Lunar New Year traditions but also feel proud of their participation in a celebration that fosters cultural awareness and appreciation.

Your support will make this Lunar New Year celebration come to life, creating a meaningful and enjoyable educational experience for our students. Thank you for helping us bring this cultural celebration to our classroom and allowing our students to experience the joy of learning through hands-on activities and rewards!
